Hester_prynne Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I know im late to the party, but i just recently ran into some pictures of yuta akaishi's 240z. I got hooked instantly. I am now trying to find a decent 240z and want to recreate the stance of yuta's car. Besides the weld-your-self coilovers (and fender flares), what other suspension parts would be needed to acquire my goal? Thanks in advance. _tony 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 OIC's might help in the first step of achieving your goal. Next would be actually owning a car. 1 Quote Link to comment

PurePontiacKid Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 all you need to get "low" is Integra coilovers (not those cheap sleeves, the actual height adjustable ones) and weld them to the cut down strut tubes, and camber plates. that's pretty much it. Quote Link to comment

Thanks. Ive had lowered cars before, just never attempted to that extreme. I was just curious if aftermarker LCA ect. were necessary, but you answered my question. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment

skooby_doo Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 EPIC Video!:lol: Shouldn't it be in the "How To" forums?:P Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Don't do it. It was done to achieve a certain 'look' nothing more. Form before function, which is the definition of ricer. To be truly cool build for functionality and form will follow function. A race car looks like a race car because it IS a race car. The car is pretty much useless now for driving on the street. 1 Quote Link to comment
